This waterfall was feet in height. There was an amazing story behind this name. Once upon a time this path across the river was an elephant path. So and so on one day one giant elephant was fallen down from the falls and came death. so since that day this falls is called "Athamala Ella". It means tha falls caused death to the elephant.
To visit this place we can use two subways. one is Pitabaddara - Siyambalagoda road and other one is Nilella Estate road. But those two ways join before 3km to the falls. This waterfalls creating by giant water stream in the Nilwalla river. and also creating vapory environment near the falls and big pond also. from through the small hole we can come closer to the falls. but I must say climbing waterfall is too dangerous.
Top of the falls is another way around. we can use another way to come to the top. there was old power house. but that was cast aside and now there is only ruins. First villagers create the power house to take electricity to the village. but then the responsibility goes to the provincial council. then they did it for few years. after that villagers got electricity my other ways. then powerhouse was cast aside.
anyways this area was amazing place to visit. Sound of birds and falling water creates amazing natural music to our naked ear and it will charm our minds.
